1. Receipt Hog

One of the best apps that allows you to get paid to upload receipts is Receipt Hog which we reviewed here.

With this app, you simply take a picture of your receipt and get money.

The app has three categories for receipts:

Coin-receipts: You earn coins for your receipts that you can redeem for cash. Receipts that fall into this category are normally those from retailers that sell consumable goods, like grocery stores and supermarkets.

Spin-receipts: Receipts that fall into this category are usually those from retailers that sell non-consumable goods, like apparel. For each spin-receipt, you earn one spin on the Hog Slot machine. When you play this game, you have the chance win coins you can redeem for money.

Sweeps-receipts: These receipts give you an entry into Receipt Hog’s monthly sweepstakes, where you can win up to 5,000 coins. While all receipts give you an entry into the sweepstakes, receipts that solely earn entries are ones from places like bars and gas stations.

Receipt Hog pays you pretty well – receipts can be redeemed for cash or for Amazon gift cards. Or, if you’re an avid reader, you might want to choose the magazine subscription option.

Receipt Hog also gives you the opportunity to complete surveys if you want to.

Where to get it:

3. Checkout 51

Another platform that allows you get paid to scan your grocery receipts is Checkout51.

This app works in a similar way to MobiSave. You look through offers for the ones you want, go shopping as you normally would, snap a photo of your receipt to redeem offers and then earn cash.

Unlike MobiSave, which has no minimum payout threshold, you have to earn $20 to be able to withdraw your cash on Checkout51.

Need Extra Cash for Free?

If you like getting paid for surveys, and are going to join only one site, I would recommend you choose Ipsos-iSay. Ipsos is the most fun and well-paying panel. Give it a try to see how you like it. It is free anyway!

7. Jingit

Jingit is an app that pays you to engage with brands.

With Jingit, you can make money in a wide range of ways:

Scan barcodes: You can make money scanning barcodes – essentially, you get paid to scan your groceries! Just visit the grocery store, pick up a featured brand’s product and then scan the barcode. It’s really easy to scan barcodes for rewards with Jingit.

Discussion

I totally agree; scanning receipts is indeed one of the easiest ways to make quick cash. It is as simple as swapping your trash for cash. Unfortunately, besides Receipt Hog, Shopmium and Ibotta most of these apps are not available in the UK, which limits one’s ability to make more money.
